Welcome to the Mindset and Motivation Podcast, one of the top motivational podcasts in the world.

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we come out with a short to the point.

No BS episode to help make massive changes in your mind and transform you from who you are now to who you want to be.

My name is Rob Dyle and the podcast starts now.

Alright, today what I'm going to be talking about is something that I believe is absolutely mind-blowing when you start to understand it.

And I've had it explain to me I've always kind of understood it or at least when I started getting into personal growth I understood it but I never was able to eloquently explain it or had it really explained to me in a really good way.

Up until I read this book as I've recently called The Power of Now by Eckertoli if you have not read it I recommend it it's awesome.

But basically what it talks about is your thoughts and how your thoughts are addictions.

Your thoughts are addicting and in reality they're holding you back.

And so let me dive into it and it will start to make sense and this is a very abstract obscure topic and so I'm going to do my best to explain to you.

If you can understand this this could completely change your life.

And one thing that he says in the way that he explains it finally for me to understand it is he says the phrase I cannot live with myself any longer.

He talks about how there was a point in his life where he was actually thinking about committing suicide and he said to himself I cannot live with myself any longer.

And then he realized if I cannot live with myself then there must be two of me the I in the self that I cannot live with only one of them is real.

So think about this real quick there's two different people living inside you and you're not crazy don't worry this is this is the way it works.

There's the I that he's seeing everything through and there's the self the person he's become or the thoughts that he's thinking that he cannot live with anymore those can be changed that self can be changed.

So if you think about it nothing that you do or do not do in your life can add or subtract from who you are.

The self is a false construct of the mind you are not your thoughts you are not your mind and this can be a shot at the ego but your mind is a tool it is like a hammer right.

The only difference though is it's hard to think of your mind as a tool because you can't see it right for instance I give you an example a tool your hand would be a tool on your body it is something that you don't always use.

But when you need to use it you can pick something up and use a fork or whatever it is that you need to do your hand is a tool a part of your body and it's easy to think of it that way because you're physically seeing it your mind and your thoughts you can't physically see.

So you have the feeling that your thoughts are you.

So why do you want to observe and change your thoughts because your thoughts create your reality and overthinking thinking too much is a legitimate addiction.
